Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I call your name I know you're gone Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I come your way I know you're gone I can feel it Every time you look my way I can feel it Guess I need a lifestyle change 'Cause you told me once That you only can give so much Shoulda known our love Was hopeless Now I'm out on a limb, I see There's no fruit on the empty tree Keep on wishing, but it won't be I know it Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I call your name I know you're gone Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I come your way I know you're gone Yeah (Night after night) Ha, ah (Lying awake) Ha, ah, ah, ah (Waking!) Now, I know it (Well, how do you feel?) Like there's nothing I can do Caught up in a game where I'm the fool Still, I'd rather play until I lose Try to go up, but it don't compare Talk too much that my friends don't care Just another toy for you to play with 'Cause you know I'm always there Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong (why you gotta play?) Every time I call your name (with me?) I know you're gone Why you gotta play with me? (ha, ah) You know you're wrong Every time I come your way I know you're gone In the dead of summer I just need something To distract me from the way that it was Used to be easy Had your attention freely Now you play with me 'til you've had enough Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I come your way You're always gone Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I come your way You're always gone Why you gotta play with me? You know you're wrong Every time I come your way You're always gone You're always gone I'm always lost In your forcefield That you put on me I'm like, "Sheesh!" Sheesh! Call the police! (Brrrrrrr) (Yeah, we got a problem down here) I'm like, "Sheesh!" Sheesh! Call the police!
